I still think Lyle's right. The 2006 emails refer to permission granted for a different product.

^^ Personally I think its bullshit. How do you forget to cite something that was a blatant copy and paste, do you not proof read your own books?

On the other hand, if it was an attempt to plagarise there is no way he would be the blatant about it.

At my university, if you forget a citation like that (even by mistake) in undergraduate you almost guarantee yourself an F for that class. If you do that kind of thing in graduate studies, you can almost be certain you'll be booted from the program.

What Cosgrove did is not something taken lightly in the academic community. This could have serious consequences to the research he does in the future.
